I truly value championships above all else in team sports, but the NBA awards so far this season are highlighting (for me) how absurd all the awards are.
- Casey wins Coach of the Year for doing ... exactly what he was expected to do? And then gets fired.
- A second-year player wins Rookie of the Year. Yeah, yeah, he didn't play any games in his first season, but I guarantee that his contract situation and how the league views his "years of service" do, in fact, include his first season. In other words, his first season "counts" in all senses of the word—except for when it comes to ROY voting.
- LeBron should win MVP this season—he probably should've won it every year of his career—but it'll go to Harden.
More proof that the NBA is a joke, and it's worth watching only because of the Boston Celtics.
